This is a most modest looking tool. But never has it been so easy to underrate something. Simply turn the carbide a few degrees so that its edge is pressing on the steel edge you want to sharpen (plane blade, chisel, pocket or kitchen knife - even an axe). Stroke the carbide across the cutting edge using modest pressure. You will feel it honing (removing steel) and producing a sharp edge immediately. It's amazing.

The piece of 1-3/16" long, super-hard carbide is held in a 6-1/4" long aluminum frame that fits right in your hand.

Greater pressure obviously produces even faster results. In fact, it hones so fast you have to be careful not to press too hard. Use the flat, smooth side of the carbide as a super-hard burnisher to remove wire edges on chisels and plane blades. We were all very impressed.

Excellent tool sharpener, the best ever had. I'm taking care of this baby and it's not walking away. I can always depend on Garrett Wade for all the tools I need to get any job done, that's why I'll buy from them for all my needs as far as tools are concern. Customer Service is one the best, I've pleased with the overall service.

My Error

Reviewed By:

Dean Ferres(New Rochelle, New York)

I thought that this type of sharpener wasn't only two sided. I've had and used on for years. When ordering for a gift, I received the one sided one. Follow up by phone proved I did order the one-sided one. So I immediately placed on order for the two sided one to become the gift to my son, a carpenter. The two-sided does a superb job on all our kitchen knives plus others.

Great sharpener. Easy to use & puts an edge on quickly. Liked it so well I also bought the 2 sided carbide sharpener.
